====Future developments of Shinkansen====
After decades of research and successful testing on a {{Convert|43|km|0|abbr=on}} test track, in 2014 JR Central began constructing a [[Maglev]] Shinkansen line, which is known as the [[Chūō Shinkansen]]. These Maglev trains still have the traditional underlying tracks and the cars have wheels. This serves a practical purpose at stations and a safety purpose out on the lines in the event of a power failure. However, in normal operation, the wheels are raised up into the car as the train reaches certain speeds where the magnetic levitation effect takes over. It is proposed to link Tokyo and Osaka by 2037, with the section from Tokyo to Nagoya expected to be operational by 2034.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/japan-produces-next-generation-of-train-technology-151376 |title=Japan produces next generation of train technology |date= 25 January 2020 |access-date=26 January 2020}}</ref> Maximum speed is anticipated at {{convert|505|kph|mph|abbr=on}}. The first generation train can be ridden by tourists visiting the test track.
